I don't like Nacet, it is one of the very few blades that I am uncomfortable using

I really like using Nacet blades with my Yates 921 razor.
I shave every other day and those blades give me a close shave with M or H base plates in SS or Ti.

What razor are you pairing the Nacet blades with?  

Nacet blades are among the sharpest blades you will ever use. If you pair them with a razor that is overly aggressive, or if your shaving lather is not good enough, or your shave angle and shave pressure is not correct, Nacet blades can draw blood or cause significant skin irritation. I would not recommend them for inexperienced shavers. With the right razor, the right lather, and the right technique, Nacets are superb blades. In my evaluation of approximately 75 blades, I rated Nacet Stainless 4.75 / 5 in sharpness and 4.75 / 5  in smoothness. Only three blades ranked higher: Nacet Platinum (discontinued), Gillette 7 O'Clock Super Platinum (black), and BIC Chrome Platinum.

I agree with the OP’s sentiments. If you can’t handle a sharp blade, then please learn better technique.

Some pressure is necessary to achieve consistent application of the blade to the skin surface.

Best blades: Nacet, Feather (but expensive per shave), and Wilkinson Germany. You cannot compare anyone’s quality control piece-to-piece than German and Japanese metalworking. Not Russia and not India.

Mailed out almost 2 weeks ago and never heard anything back from the OP, in fact his last visit was when he sent me his address.  

I hope he is ok.

I tried multiple shaves, with over 40 different blades, 5 different soaps, and two different razors.  After much comparison, my favorite by far is Nacets.  I regularly get 8 utterly fantastic shaves from a single blade.  Far and away the best for me.

I bought several hundred of them, and now I can focus on other things like soaps, brushes and splashes.
